1 00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:06,000 Speaker 1: It's Night Side with Dan RAYBS Boston's Radio. 2 00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:08,280 Speaker 2: All right, thank you very much, Al Griffin, as we 3 00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:10,520 Speaker 2: head into our ten o'clock hour. Here again, it is 4 00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:12,840 Speaker 2: a frigid Friday night in New England. But what do 5 00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:17,640 Speaker 2: you expect? I mean, the calendar equivalent of January sixteenth 6 00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:20,960 Speaker 2: is July sixteenth, and all of us know that in 7 00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:23,959 Speaker 2: July sixteenth, the chances are the tempera is going to 8 00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:26,920 Speaker 2: be eighty five or ninety and on January sixteenth, the 9 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:28,760 Speaker 2: chances are the temperature is going to be what it 10 00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:33,199 Speaker 2: is ten or fifteen, certainly as a windshill factor. So 11 00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:38,760 Speaker 2: I hope wherever you are tonight you're very warm. I 12 00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:43,360 Speaker 2: saw a rabbit trying to sneak into my garage tonight. 13 00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:46,640 Speaker 2: I was putting my car away, and I felt so 14 00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:49,880 Speaker 2: badly for the rabbit. I thought to myself, why aren't 15 00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,800 Speaker 2: you like where do rabbits go in the wintertime? Don't 16 00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:56,560 Speaker 2: they like bury the underground or in they're in tree hut? 17 00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:00,840 Speaker 2: They covered up. I just felt horrible, and as soon 18 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:03,520 Speaker 2: as I put the light on, the rabbit scooted, but 19 00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:06,680 Speaker 2: he was clearly eyeing the garage. So I don't know 20 00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:11,000 Speaker 2: it's if you'd love to be able to take animals 21 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,480 Speaker 2: in tonight on a night like night at tonight and 22 00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:15,479 Speaker 2: just leave them in the mudroom and say, look, guys, 23 00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:17,600 Speaker 2: don't mess up too bad. Just sleep Hereble to throw 24 00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:19,920 Speaker 2: a couple of blankets in. You stay in the mudroom. 25 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:21,720 Speaker 2: You'll be fine. I'll let you out in the morning. 26 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:24,320 Speaker 2: It's gotta be a tough night to be an animal 27 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:29,560 Speaker 2: in New England, no doubt. Look, I want to dedicate 28 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:33,200 Speaker 2: an hour tonight at eleven. We're gonna give you a 29 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:38,720 Speaker 2: chance to predict the outcome of Sunday's divisional playoff game 30 00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 2: at you Lette between the Patriots and the Houston Texans. 31 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 2: I think the Patriots will have everything going for themselves, 32 00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:50,320 Speaker 2: and I don't want to jinx them, but it looks 33 00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:52,840 Speaker 2: like Christian Gonzalez will be back in the lineup, and 34 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 2: also it looks as if one of the leading receivers 35 00:01:56,080 --> 00:02:00,520 Speaker 2: for the Texans will be sidelined. The Texans play inside Dome, 36 00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,320 Speaker 2: and I'm not sure if the dome is retractable or not. 37 00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:10,720 Speaker 2: It might be now that I think about it, I 38 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,359 Speaker 2: believe so. Yeah, because yeah, I was in that stadium 39 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:17,240 Speaker 2: for the Patriots. One of the Patriots Super Bowl games, 40 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:22,480 Speaker 2: the game that they beat the Carolina Panthers. So I 41 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,920 Speaker 2: think that we might be heading towards a Buffalo Patriots 42 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 2: showdown next weekend. And if you think the excitement is 43 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,520 Speaker 2: great this weekend, imagine wanted to be like a weekend 44 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 2: from now. But let's not get ahead of ourselves. I 45 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:39,639 Speaker 2: want to be a little retrospective here. Today is January sixteenth, 46 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:43,000 Speaker 2: or tonight is January sixteenth, So we are now a 47 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:46,800 Speaker 2: little more just ten hours more than halfway through the 48 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,320 Speaker 2: month of January. And I think it's a great night 49 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:53,239 Speaker 2: on a Friday night for us to consider. If you 50 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:57,359 Speaker 2: made a New Year's resolution, if you have stuck with it, 51 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:00,919 Speaker 2: rob get that applause meter going. I want to applaud 52 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,800 Speaker 2: everybody who is stuck with their New Year's resolution, no 53 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 2: matter what it is. If you have nothing but a 54 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 2: new Year's resolution broken in your rearview mirror, which is 55 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 2: probably what most of us have, I think confession being 56 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,120 Speaker 2: good for the soul. It would be great to be 57 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,840 Speaker 2: able to say, hey, I tried to do this and 58 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:24,640 Speaker 2: it just didn't work out. You know a lot of 59 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,960 Speaker 2: the resolutions, you know, I'm not going to swear anymore. Well, 60 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 2: that lasted about four hours on January first, I assume, 61 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 2: and when you stub your toe and all of a 62 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 2: sudden you realize, Okay, there goes that resolution. Maybe the 63 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,480 Speaker 2: one that I'm going to have a dry January has 64 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 2: worked for you. Maybe it hasn't. I don't know. Maybe 65 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 2: there are other New Year's resolutions that you made and 66 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 2: that haven't worked. So whenever I do want an hour 67 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 2: like this, and I'd like to do an hour, it's 68 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 2: always a gamble. So I'm going to simply ask you 69 00:03:56,600 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 2: to fess up. Confession. Fessen up is good for the soul. 70 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 2: That's not a religious If you tried and you have 71 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 2: once again failed, okay, if you were ever spectacularly successful, 72 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 2: and those of you who made a New Year's resolution 73 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,720 Speaker 2: three years ago or two years ago or ten years 74 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:22,039 Speaker 2: ago and have held that resolution love to hear from 75 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 2: it because I'd love to know what was the magic 76 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 2: sauce or whatever, what was the magic that held the 77 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 2: resolution together. So that's let's have a little bit of 78 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,800 Speaker 2: fun with it. And if you want to use a 79 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:41,240 Speaker 2: different name, okay, I mean if you want to, but 80 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:45,040 Speaker 2: no reason to be embarrassed. I told you and I've 81 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,720 Speaker 2: told this story a couple of times that I had 82 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 2: a New Year's resolution. I think it was in two 83 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 2: thousand and six, could be wrong on that might have 84 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:57,120 Speaker 2: been a little earlier, where I thought to myself, you 85 00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 2: know what, I'm just going to have a dry January. 86 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,320 Speaker 2: I'm not going to drink until the super Bowl. And 87 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:07,560 Speaker 2: I didn't. No wine, no beer. And I got to 88 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 2: the Super Bowl and I thought to myself, I really 89 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:13,920 Speaker 2: don't miss this. It's not been I'm a big drinker, 90 00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 2: but I'm a wine and beer guy, and every once 91 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:17,839 Speaker 2: in a while rum coke. And I said, you know what, 92 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:19,599 Speaker 2: let me try to get to Valentine's Day. And I 93 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:24,560 Speaker 2: successfully got to Valentine's Day no alcohol, no beer, no wine, nothing, 94 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:28,520 Speaker 2: no rum cokes. Nothing. Then I thought, well, you know, 95 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:30,599 Speaker 2: maybe I get the Saint Patrick's Day. I mean, that 96 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:32,839 Speaker 2: would be amazing. And I got the Saint Patrick's Day 97 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:36,239 Speaker 2: and I was still feeling great. As a matter of fact, 98 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 2: it was I probably never felt better in my life. 99 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 2: And I said, you know what, let's get to April first. 100 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:48,400 Speaker 2: Let's just do three months. And I almost made it 101 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:52,200 Speaker 2: until one morning I woke up with this horrible pain 102 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 2: in my lower right back. At about five o'clock in 103 00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,040 Speaker 2: the morning, I got out of bed and I drove 104 00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:01,920 Speaker 2: myself to a local hospital. And when I walked in 105 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:06,039 Speaker 2: the waiting room and walked into the emergency room at 106 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:11,320 Speaker 2: five o'clock in the morning, the nurse behind the counter 107 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 2: looked at me and she diagnosed me. She said, you 108 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:19,080 Speaker 2: have a kidney stone. And I'm telling you it was 109 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 2: very painful. And I have never made another New Year's 110 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:29,920 Speaker 2: resolution since of any sort. So my New Year's resolution 111 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,719 Speaker 2: has always been don't make New Year's resolutions, and so 112 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:36,080 Speaker 2: far I've been successful. But I suspect some of you 113 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:42,920 Speaker 2: have stories as well. That's a true story, absolutely. I 114 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 2: remember my personal care physician who was associated with the 115 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:51,320 Speaker 2: hospital that I went to was the Leonard Morse Hospital 116 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:54,479 Speaker 2: in Natick. It's no longer the Lenon Morres Hospital is 117 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:58,920 Speaker 2: no longer operating. But my doctor, Alan Cole actually came 118 00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:02,840 Speaker 2: by and saw me about ten o'clock that morning, and 119 00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 2: I guess he found out from someone that I was 120 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:12,600 Speaker 2: in the hospital. I get out that day actually, and 121 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 2: I was fine. But I'll never forget Alan, doctor Allan Cole, 122 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 2: who I's been my personal care physician for fifteen, well 123 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 2: for thirty five years, actually a wonderful man and a 124 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:27,320 Speaker 2: great doctor. And to think that he would find his 125 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 2: some time on that morning to come by and see 126 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 2: why I was there and what I was doing, always 127 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:40,520 Speaker 2: indebted to him. And he stopped his practice when COVID arrived, 128 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:44,440 Speaker 2: which I understand. And any of you, by the way, 129 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:46,640 Speaker 2: some night next week we might talk about the process 130 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,960 Speaker 2: of finding a personal care physician. If you're in the 131 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:57,040 Speaker 2: market to do that. It's nion impossible, nion impossible to 132 00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 2: do that. But that's not the subject. The subject that 133 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 2: is your New year's resolutions. I want to hear the 134 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 2: ones that are still holding strong halfway through the month 135 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:09,200 Speaker 2: of December of January, and those that are now in 136 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:13,280 Speaker 2: the rear view mirror, your rearview mirror, broken and shattered 137 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:16,600 Speaker 2: along the highway of life.

I think we're 152 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:13,520 Speaker 2: going to see some and I'm not talking about the 153 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:17,320 Speaker 2: snow that they are predicting. I'm talking about something more serious. 154 00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,600 Speaker 2: You just have that feeling, as a longtime New Englander 155 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:26,560 Speaker 2: that Mother Nature is getting up to remind us in 156 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:30,079 Speaker 2: full force that winter is here and it's not ready 157 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:33,360 Speaker 2: to go away, even though the truck leaves for Fort 158 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:36,079 Speaker 2: Myers on February second, which should be a national holiday 159 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:38,079 Speaker 2: as far as I'm concerned.

I either throw it 439 00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,720 Speaker 8: away or it goes to goodwill or you're a thrift 440 00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:06,439 Speaker 8: shop or somewhere, and I'm going to keep doing it. 441 00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:08,199 Speaker 8: I want to get rid of them. There's things that 442 00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:13,479 Speaker 8: have been sitting there for over a year or several years, 443 00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:16,720 Speaker 8: and even going through papers that have been sitting there 444 00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:18,280 Speaker 8: and just getting rid of things. 445 00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:21,439 Speaker 2: What percentage and this is something I have to do, 446 00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:24,840 Speaker 2: But what percentage of the items that you find that 447 00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:28,679 Speaker 2: you dispose of, are you able to actually give another 448 00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:31,159 Speaker 2: life to by giving it to charity as opposed to 449 00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:33,000 Speaker 2: putting into the dustbin. 450 00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:37,119 Speaker 8: Of history, I'd say maybe, well, the items, most of 451 00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:40,240 Speaker 8: them I give away. The things that I toss away 452 00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:46,520 Speaker 8: would be more or less papers and even books. I'm 453 00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:48,720 Speaker 8: piling up books that I'm going to give away. I'm 454 00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:51,679 Speaker 8: going to get a hold. I'm piling up a bunch 455 00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:55,639 Speaker 8: to give away later this month. So I'd say most 456 00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:57,600 Speaker 8: of them I'm giving away, not throwing away. 457 00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:01,000 Speaker 2: Well, if you have if you have great books, okay, 458 00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:03,159 Speaker 2: or if you have books that are in good shape 459 00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:05,840 Speaker 2: you know, not you know, and you know, and something 460 00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:10,120 Speaker 2: that has value, they mostly you know, if they're all 461 00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:15,080 Speaker 2: like college textbooks, they're probably worthless. But I will give 462 00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:19,399 Speaker 2: you a tip if you have how many, If you 463 00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:22,399 Speaker 2: have a substantial number, meaning if you've really built up 464 00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:25,080 Speaker 2: a library of like three or four hundred books. 465 00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:29,200 Speaker 8: Oh no, not that many, not that many, not one hundred, 466 00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:29,760 Speaker 8: but one. 467 00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:33,159 Speaker 2: Hundred, okay, you could give Ken Gloss a call at 468 00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:38,520 Speaker 2: the Bridle Books bookshop. Okay, and Ken, uh, you know, 469 00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:42,880 Speaker 2: if you describe to him what the books are, he 470 00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:46,840 Speaker 2: actually is will be willing to I mean, I can't 471 00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:50,680 Speaker 2: speak for him, but he's he's willing to take books. 472 00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:56,320 Speaker 2: He loves books. He is a bibliophile and and they'll 473 00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:59,080 Speaker 2: find his second life. I mean, you hate there's almost 474 00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:01,440 Speaker 2: something like throwing a book away. I mean, if it's 475 00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:05,480 Speaker 2: if it's something that is, you know, a college workbook 476 00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:08,960 Speaker 2: from thirty years ago, it has no problem value, okay. 477 00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:12,760 Speaker 2: But if there is a book that you know is 478 00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:17,240 Speaker 2: relatively recent, or maybe if it's an older, you know, 479 00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:20,240 Speaker 2: novel or something like that that other people would read. 480 00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:23,800 Speaker 2: The other thing is if you've thought about books, you 481 00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:28,640 Speaker 2: can always donate them to if you have. Again, I'm 482 00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:31,000 Speaker 2: just guessing now I've never done this, but I would 483 00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:35,680 Speaker 2: think you have some of these senior living centers where 484 00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:38,640 Speaker 2: there are older people there who who still like to read. 485 00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:41,400 Speaker 2: I would suspect that if you wanted to donate them there, 486 00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:44,720 Speaker 2: they would probably come by and pick them up for you. 487 00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:46,280 Speaker 2: So just a suggestion, that's all. 488 00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:49,520 Speaker 8: Absolutely. And our local library will take use books too, 489 00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:51,919 Speaker 8: and I don't know what they do with them, but 490 00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:54,840 Speaker 8: there is a bin that people can donate them as well. 491 00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:59,959 Speaker 2: So yeah, well they probably they probably make a determination 492 00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:03,320 Speaker 2: as to whether or not the book is likely going 493 00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:08,360 Speaker 2: to be utilized for them. It's it's shelf space, your 494 00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:11,239 Speaker 2: book space.

We read a 595 00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:43,440 Speaker 6: book not too long ago that was written by somebody 596 00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:46,479 Speaker 6: from Boston that it was a big art heist that 597 00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:49,040 Speaker 6: happened in Boston once. I wish I could remember the 598 00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:49,880 Speaker 6: name of the book, but it. 599 00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:53,760 Speaker 2: Was called Yeah. It was probably written by Anthony Moray, 600 00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:58,320 Speaker 2: and it was about the gardener hot art heist. There 601 00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:00,920 Speaker 2: is still some they have it. 602 00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:01,960 Speaker 6: That's the one the. 603 00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:05,800 Speaker 2: Great paintings, that's the one. Yeah. And and I believe 604 00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:09,880 Speaker 2: that it probably Anthony Morey who was who's been involved 605 00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:16,040 Speaker 2: in trying to find those paintings. I believe wrote that book. 606 00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:20,839 Speaker 2: And it's a fascinating story. The place was robbed. They 607 00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:24,279 Speaker 2: haven't they haven't figured it out yet. It was the 608 00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:28,279 Speaker 2: art hest at the Gardener Museum. 609 00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:30,640 Speaker 6: Yeah, the end of the book basically kind of left 610 00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:32,880 Speaker 6: it open ended, where you didn't really know what happened 611 00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:35,160 Speaker 6: or who did what. They're still looking for it. They 612 00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:37,680 Speaker 6: don't really know what took place. Yeah, I thought that 613 00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:38,880 Speaker 6: was a way to end the book. 614 00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:42,120 Speaker 2: No end, No, no, no, no, that that was a 615 00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:46,200 Speaker 2: true that's a true story. There's uh. And and that 616 00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:49,160 Speaker 2: is one of the great art heists in the history 617 00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:50,960 Speaker 2: of the world. I mean they're still trying to figure 618 00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:54,160 Speaker 2: out the art heights, you know, over at the Louver 619 00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:55,359 Speaker 2: late last year. 620 00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:58,319 Speaker 6: But yeah, well I think they figured that one out. 621 00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:04,040 Speaker 2: Well, they figured it out.
